Help me with loop in script

[dgmon]

function SPM()
for i = 1,20 do
    gg.setVisible(false)
    local t = gg.getListItems()
    for i, v in ipairs(t) do
        if v.name == 'R' then
            v.value = "-2.0"
        gg.setValues(t)
        gg.addListItems(t)
        end
    end
    end
    end

Hello, sorry for my inconvenience problem.

I want the saved list item with name "R" modified repeatedly up to 20 times.

Please help me with the scripting. I hope my question would be answered.

local savedValues = gg.getListItems() -- Enough to get items once if list won't change during execution of loop
local targetValues = {}
for i, v in ipairs(savedValues) do
  if v.name == "R" then
    targetValues[#targetValues + 1] = {
      address = v.address,
      flags = v.flags,
      value = "-2.0"
    }
  end
end
for i = 1, 20 do
  gg.setValues(targetValues) -- doesn't really make sense without delay
end

And, please, don't mention anyone in questions that are not directed to someone specifically.

Thank you for your help CmP. I've tried and it seem like not working. Is there any wrong, i just literally copy pasted. Sorry for my inconvenience and lack of knowledge.

The question is what you define as working. You asked for the code that modifies value(s) from saved list that are named "R" to "-2.0" 20 times in loop. The code above should do exactly that. Maybe that's not exactly what you need?

Should be sleeping in between each edit else it wont work as expected
 

for i=1, 20 do
    gg.setValue(targetValue)
    gg.sleep(100)
end
